because of you, osama bin laden is no more. because of you, al qaeda's top ranks have been handled. the core of al qaeda in afghanistan and pakistan is on the way to defeat. that happened because of you. because of you, more afghans are re-claiming their communities, their markets, their schools, their towns. they have a chance to forge their own future. because of you, more afghans are trained in stepping up and defending their own country. because of you and to preserve the gains you fought and bled for, we are going to make sure that afghanistan is never again a source of attacks against our country. that happened because of you. so the war in afghanistan will end, for you that means fewer deployments, more training time, preparing for the future, getting back to what marines do better than anybody else on earth, amphibious operations. it means more time here on the home front with your families, your wives, your husbands, your kids. but, of course, the end of the war in afghanistan doesn't mean the end of threats to our nation. as i've said before, even as we decimated the al qa

it was the affiliate that osama bin laden thought had the best chance of really being powerful and causing a long-term threat. the information is vague. it is from intercepts. although it's not, thank goodness, the meta data from the u.s. because there's no evidence of there being in contact with somebody in the u.s. and being captured in that meta data. there's a reference to being heard from the enemy, which leads people to think it's the u.s. but could also be western europe. what makes this so scary is that the chatter is going back and forth in part between al qaeda in yemen and core al qaeda, which is loosely based, still, in pakistan, the tribal areas, afghanistan. maybe even the top figure in al qaeda now, with bin laden gone, ayman al zawahiri. so this combination of things makes it looks to people scarier than some of the chatter they picked up. >> can you put this in perspective over the last ten years, let's say, it used to be that we heard of the chatter going on around the clock. we had a discussion yesterday on "meet the press" about the ability of al qaeda to still strike c
